This area! This area! Ah! If nothing else, just this area is amazing!
After becoming strong, they naturally wanted to become even stronger. It was impossible to develop to the north. The north was freezing and the living environment was harsh, so they turned their attention to the Central Plains. In the process of unifying the north, the Tuoba clan not only had to deal with the Central Plains. The country still has to deal with Rouran. I wonder if you regret letting the tiger return to the mountains? However, the Wei State at this time is no longer the Wei State of the past. While dealing with Rouran, it is also cleaning up the political power in the Central Plains.
Rouran took advantage of the death of Tuoba Si to attack Wei. Khan Datan captured Shengle, the capital of Wei, and settled in Shengle Palace, but was later beaten back by Tuoba Tao.
In this series of battles, Tuoba Tao also asked Kun Yu to send troops and incorporated them into his West Route Army. Ning Yu was the chief general and Xun was the deputy general. He led Wang Bi, Shi Cen, Ning Cheng, and Jiang Chu to the expedition. , Jiang Wu, Lezheng brothers, Ru Yuan and others stayed in the capital.
After arriving at the North Border Pass, they met up with the army led by Arslan, and everyone stopped to rest, also waiting for the Wei army.
Ning Fang and the others were looking at the map and discussing tactics. A soldier ran in and said that people from the Jujin store had sent a lot of supplies.
Jujin Shop started from Beiguan and was very famous in the north. Later, it got in touch with the royal family and is now regarded as an imperial merchant. Since it is an imperial merchant, it is understandable that it would express its feelings. No one thought much about it. Continue the discussion.
Soon the soldiers came in again and said that the owner of Jujin Shop wanted to see Mr. Zhuo, which made everyone confused.
Hyun stood up and said:
"I gonna go see."
Soon Hyun's voice came from downstairs:
"Wow wow wow wow! Teng Juan! Teng Juan!"
Then a nice female voice came:
"Don't come here! Don't come here!..." There was a cough, followed by the woman's complaint, "Master Zhuo, you are rushing here in armor, do you want to knock my old bones apart?"
Ning Fang, Ning Cheng, and Wang Bi were shocked. They all stood up and walked out. When they walked out of the door, they saw Hyun talking excitedly to a woman. Everyone took a closer look and found that it was indeed Teng Juan. After so many years, Teng Juan The traces of time have also been left on Juan's face, but it still cannot conceal her beauty. Moreover, after years of polishing, she has become even more beautiful and radiant. Even Ning Yan was dumbfounded.
Hyun took Teng Juan's hand and walked to her room:
"Let's go, there are a lot of people here, let's go inside and have a nice chat."
Suddenly a man stepped forward and blocked the way of the two of them:
"Master Zhuo, there is no clear distinction between men and women. I'm afraid there will be something wrong if you are a man and a woman alone in the same room."
Teng Juan got ahead of Hyun, stepped forward and pushed the man, and said in a coquettish tone:
"You idiot, you are usually very smart, why are you so stupid now? If Mr. Zhuo and I can do anything, the sows can climb trees." Seeing that the man was still confused, he gave a sweet smile and teased him Pointing his finger, "Idiot, don't think too much. I'll tell you when I get back. Unload the goods first."
Then he pulled Hyun and walked towards the room.
When passing by Ning Fang and the others, Teng Juan saluted Ning Fang in a business-like manner:
"King Yi."
Ning Yu nodded stupidly, and angrily Hyun stretched out her hand and pinched his waist. Ning Yu's face changed immediately. Hyun nodded at him angrily, and then entered the room with Teng Juan.
Ning Fang felt a little uncomfortable on his face. He rubbed the place where he was pinched and cursed:
"This woman doesn't do anything lightly or harshly!"
Ning Cheng and Wang Bi covered their mouths and snickered.
The two women who entered the room were chattering and talking endlessly.
It turned out that after Teng Juan stayed in Beiguan, she used the money given to her to start a business and let the daughter of a high-ranking official come to the fore. Teng Juan was not used to it at first, but she had suffered a lot before that.
Even though I was not used to it, I soon got used to it, because she was beautiful, cultured, and smart, and her business was running smoothly. Later, she met Du Jin, the man who stopped Hyun outside. At first, the two of them just had a cooperative relationship.
, gradually fell in love for a long time, and the two came together. Of course, those who could be attracted by Teng Juan were not ordinary people. The Du family was considered a moderately wealthy family, and Du Jin was also very talented. Teng Juan did not hide it from him.
Du Jin told him all his previous experiences, and after digesting it for a few days, he finally decided to marry her. After the marriage, the two of them lived a prosperous life, and their business grew bigger and bigger. They developed the "Jujin" store and gave birth to three children.
Du Jin took pity on Teng Juan's previous experience and did not take any concubines, leaving her alone as a woman. This made Teng Juan both moved and cherished, and she finally found a good home.
This time I learned that the army was going on an expedition and settled in Beiguan for repairs. I sent some supplies to express my gratitude. Unexpectedly, I saw the flag with the word "Zhuo" and wanted to meet Huan.
His wife was hugged and hugged by a man, and Du Jin felt uncomfortable. But Teng Juan said it was okay, so Du Jin could only believe her, but he was still worried. He stayed not far from Hyun's room and heard from time to time.
The laughter coming from inside made my heart feel itchy.
Suddenly, a female voice like a nightingale came to my ears:
"Dad, the goods are all unloaded."
A smile immediately appeared on Du Jin's face:
"Yueer, sit down quickly. You are tired. Drink some water. Are you hungry? You can eat whatever you want."
Ning Cheng, who was sitting nearby drinking water, couldn't help but turn his head when he heard the pleasant female voice. He was shocked when he saw Du Yue's appearance. Although Du Yue's hair was a little messy and his clothes were a little dirty because of unloading goods, he could not help but turn his head and look around.
Ning Cheng just looked at it and thought it was beautiful. It was so beautiful that it was beyond compare.
But he quickly shook his head and got rid of unnecessary thoughts:
That's Teng Juan's daughter! No!
The fear left by being kidnapped and sent to Teng Juan when they were young has fallen on their souls. Although Teng Juan didn't do anything to them, after all, they were still young at that time, which would amplify the uneasiness and fear in their hearts, and what they experienced as a child was harmful to them.
People also have a greater influence, so even now, Ning Cheng can't help but feel chills when he thinks of Teng Juan.
But Du Yue was so beautiful that Ning Cheng's eyes couldn't help but glance at her.
After a while, the door of the room opened. Teng Juan looked out and said to Du Yue:
"Yue'er, call Rui'er into the room."
Du Jin was dissatisfied. His wife and Mr. Zhuo were in the same room, and now she wanted to ask her two daughters to come in. Just when he was about to speak, Teng Juan's eyes widened, she ground her lips, and swallowed what she wanted to say.
Soon Ning Cheng saw Du Yue bringing Du Rui in. The two sisters couldn't say which one was beautiful and which one was not. Du Yue was more calm and Du Rui was more lively. Ning Cheng thought of Ning Meng, but immediately shook his head.
The thoughts were swept away.
Since the Wei army had not yet arrived, Teng Juan invited Ning Fang and Xun to his home for dinner the next day. When the royal family came, Du Jin could not be casual anymore and invited a famous chef to cook a good meal.
At the dinner table, Hyun was still dressed as Mr. Zhuo and was chatting enthusiastically with Teng Juan. Ning Fang and Du Jin looked on and felt that this scene was a bit incongruous. On the other side, Ning Cheng was eating a little absent-mindedly.
If there is any movement, I stretch my neck to look.
A few days later, Wei's army arrived, and the two armies joined together and headed for the battlefield.
This journey was basically a running attack. While Rouran had not yet reacted, he made a surprise attack on the border of Rouran. It can be said that Rouran was confused in the first battle and retreated.
The Khan immediately mobilized reinforcements, but reinforcements could not fly and it would take time for them to reach the front line. The Wei coalition forces advanced rapidly before the reinforcements arrived.
After the reinforcements arrived, the frontline soldiers gained confidence and stopped retreating to fight the Wei coalition forces.
The two armies galloped and broke through on the vast grassland, giving full play to the advantages of the cavalry. The two armies were like the intersection of the Jing and the Wei River. You pushed and squeezed each other, refusing to give in. The neighing of the war horses and the charging of the soldiers resounded throughout the sky.
However, with the addition of teams of Flyers, the war situation gradually turned against Rouran.
During the period of Qiudou's attack on the Khan, Rouran followed the example of the Northern Wei Dynasty, established military laws, set up battle formations, and reorganized the army. The cavalry was like a bird flying in the wind, coming and going suddenly, forming a powerful force that shocked Mobei, but they
Still not completely giving up the habit of running away when the situation is bad, Rouran's army immediately retreated, but this retreat was out of control.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Khan burned down the dome and fled north. The Wei allied forces pursued him for a while without any trace, and then returned after the battle.
Camping on the grassland at night, at some point in the night, Ning Cheng was woken up from his sleep. He got up to go to the toilet. He suddenly heard the whine of a puppy mixed with the wind. He couldn't help but search for it. He found it was a litter of wolf cubs.
Even when he came, he retreated into his den in fear. Ning Cheng looked around and found no sign of the big wolf. He stayed nearby all night and saw no wolf coming. He estimated that their parents might have encountered something unexpected, so he took the five wolves with great effort.
The little wolf took it out and carried it back to the camp.
When Hyun saw them, he immediately held them in his arms, bathing them and keeping them warm. He was so happy to indulge in them. Ning Fang protested to Ning Cheng. The little wolf cub took his place, and Ning Cheng could only
He smiled without saying a word. Although his parents had been separated for several years, the relationship between the two still made him the most envious.
Originally, Ning Cheng wanted to just leave the wolf cub to Yun. With Hyun taking care of it, the wolf cub would be fine. But when he arrived at Beiguan, he accidentally snatched one and gave it to Du Yue. At first, he was worried that she wouldn't like it, but Du Yue
With one voice, he summoned all the sisters. The three sisters couldn't let go of the little wolf cub. Teng Juan looked at Ning Cheng, who had been staring at Du Yue, and couldn't help but frown.
After the two attacks, Kunyu State also sent troops, which played a big role on the battlefield. Because Kunyu State was special, Tuoba Tao sent a lot of gold and silver jewelry to express his gratitude.
He gave Hyun a pure white pony as a gift. The white color was so pure that it shone brightly when standing in the sun. Not only were Hyun and the others dumbfounded, but the four wolf cubs were also dumbfounded, and each of them had green eyes.
Guang, drooling all over the floor, was stopped by Hyun.
The days have returned to calm, and they have become a vassal state of the Wei State. Tuoba Tao is also very trustworthy and does not come to attack them. In addition to necessary defenses on the border, there is no need to divert too much energy. Ning Yan and the others turn their attention to the interior.
, the reason why it had to become a vassal state was that it was still too weak. Not only did it need to develop its armed forces, but its national strength also needed to be improved. In addition to training, the army now has another responsibility: it is responsible for opening up wasteland and cultivating fields. Hyun is responsible for leading these troops up and down the mountains.
land.
When Ning Fang has nothing to do, he will dress up as a bodyguard and follow Huan. When he comes, Jiazi and the others will definitely follow him. Jiazi and the others and Ding Wangcai and the others despise each other. When these two groups meet, they bicker and argue. Look at this. The two groups of people are also a kind of entertainment.
Every time they went to Beiguan or near Beiguan, Ning Cheng and Ning Meng always found various reasons to go together. At first, Ning Fang and Xun didn't pay attention. After several expeditions, these two boys also followed them all the way. Originally, Ning Meng didn't need to. He came to the army, but he insisted on coming, but it was good for him to come. He saw the actual battle with his own eyes, further improved the weapons, and Ning Yu and Xun let him follow them.
However, as time went by, I discovered something fishy. Every time these two boys followed me, they would run to the Jujin store no matter what happened. Occasionally, Ning Hui would sneak into Ning Cheng's group without knowing it, and follow him. The two of them went to the Jujin store together. Ning Yu and Hyun couldn't figure out what kind of treasures there were in Jujin, which made the three boys keep running there. (To be continued)
